Dawn Thomas Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
November 19, 1964 - August 6, 2024
Dawn Thomas. Age 59 of Southgate.
Beloved mother of Alyssa Thomas. Loving daughter of Perry and Evelyn Roberts. Dearest sister of Denise (Craig) Sawicki and David (Courtney) Roberts. Also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Dawn's love language was gift giving. She loved to spoil her nieces, nephews, friends, their children and of course her own daughter. Anyone who knew her either received a gift from her or was blessed to try her cooking or baking, usually her famous baklava. She loved playing softball in her youth and more recently doing puzzles. A big fan of Patrick Swayze, disco music, peanut butter and the phrase "Rawdogging it". She maintained her spirit, humor and selflessness throughout her eight year battle with metastatic breast cancer.
